1. To the commission for verification of the congress composition

At the meeting of the Organizational Committee on April 24, 1905, I forgot to submit a proposal to invite comrade Arnatsky to the congress with consultative voice—a member of the Kazan Committee{47}. I request the commission to consider this proposal.

Comrade Arnatsky is abroad, in France, and has expressed to me his agreement to come to the congress at his own expense. He is leaving for Russia very soon and would be able to quickly report to his committee about the congress. The Organizational Committee, despite all efforts, has been unable to obtain a response from the Kazan Committee. There is now almost no hope of the Kazan Committee's participation in the congress. Our attempts from here to contact Kazan through foreign channels have also failed—our letters have gone unanswered. Arnatsky too has been unable to establish contact with Kazan from here. Should we not, given the impossibility of having a delegate from the Kazan Committee at the congress, invite comrade Arnatsky with consultative voice, as a member of the committee?

2. To the credentials commission

At the meeting of the Organizational Committee, I communicated a written request from comrade Filatov (his real name) for admission to the congress with consultative voice. Comrade Filatov is the author of articles in *Forward* on the uprising—V. S. To the congress he has submitted a letter and a report-pamphlet: "The Application of Tactics and Fortification to Popular Uprising" (in a suitcase left in Boulogne). Regarding comrade Filatov, I ask you to inquire of comrades Belsky and Voinov, who worked with him in Paris{48}.
